Apparently there will be a ‘pre-recorded’ element of the programme towards the end of each show, to allow him a bit of extra time to get across London for his BBC Radio 2 show. This will be part of the newspaper review apparently, which will be at the end of the programme, so it’ll be interesting to see how that works…

Badly is my guess. Still, as long as we can have the show tailored to meet the needs of the host in pursuit of fattening his pay-packet - What's wrong with that?

To be fair to JV - I seem to recall him voluntarily taking a pay-cut from the BBC in the wake of the brouhaha about men at the BBC earning a lot more than women.

Here's the Beeb's own wording which indicates they were all presented with the reduction in pay:

Having a BB contestant as the first guest doesn't bode well for the hope of a more serious new show!

No but since it moved to C5 they seem contractually obliged to have BB evictees on. Usually tedious but this one, Roxanne, has caused a sh/tstorm so should boost viewers, even if only BB viewers for one day.

Doesn't sound as if the TPs are going to move away far from Mumsnet anyway.

It's disgusting they are having Roxanne Pallett on, she's a malicious, vindictive pathological liar. She could have completely ruined Ryan Thomas's personal and professional life if there had been no cameras to get concrete proof that she was lying. She continued to lie and exxagerate what happened and try and isolate him by getting other housemates on side. She's falsely accused other actors of the same thing and none of her previous colleagues have got a good word to say about her, she is absolute poison and shouldn't be allowed on tv again.

Her rehabilitation starts this morning. Jade goody did exactly the same thing. She had the same agent as jazzhands at the time

I'd never heard of her till a couple of days ago.

I vaguely remember her for being on Emmerdale and she was in Dancing on Ice about 9 years ago but I didn't really watch that. There is a clip of her on This Morning with her skating partner and Jason Gardiner obviously hated her back then, he didn't mince his words!!

Other than what's been said this morning I've no idea who she is and resent my mind now being invaded with yet more useless trivia in pursuit of ratings for Five.
